es, on things that I managed to achieve, there was an element of curiosity and fun to it.
Until the novelty wore off and things go hard. And during those moments that's when you ask yourself why you started to begin with? What would happen if you don't give up? And what kind of character are you choosing to portray in this part of your story?📖📖
Like if you look at your favourite show, the ending wouldn't be that satisfying without the ups and downs that the characters face. And sometimes the show is so good you don't want it to end.
Of course, there are times when you decide to take a break to rest and re-centre yourself. And there are times when you choose to give it all up because it's no longer aligned with the goal you had in mind. But it's all about taking note of your patterns when you are in that "hard/difficult" phase.
Do you start procrastinating. Do you move on to a new project or do you choose to forget about the task all together?
Normally this is where your character is being tested.
So if you need to go on your knees and ask God for strength, do so. If you need to cry it out and call friend do so. If you need to watch a motivational video - do what you need to in order to move forward and keep the momentum.
Because it's in that phase that growth happens because now you are surpassing your limits. You are getting that character development which takes you to the next level.❇️💯
So fall in love with that process because that's the most beautiful and impactful part of the journey. Make sure you're having fun even in the midst of difficulties cause at some point,it's gonna have to end and the ending has to be just as beautiful. It's the messy middle that we need to learn how to master so that we reach the beautiful ending. 🪷🪷

We all have that habit we would like to implement, however there are sometimes things that hold us back. One of the reasons we can't be consistent is not because implementing the habit is difficult but because it's new & unfamiliar to our brain and as a result, we keep on backtracking.😐🫢
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act but a habit" - Aristotle
One way to make it easy for yourself to implement that new habit is creating a trigger. So this means having an object to trigger you into doing what you set out to do. So if the new habit is running in the mornings - the trigger object could be your running clothes. And as time goes on, your brain equate seeing running clothes with running every morning. And a few months down the line your new habit will be cemented in your brain. 🧠
*Not only will this help with implementing new habits but it also builds confidence from consistently showing up for yourself because you're telling yourself you're capable of doing difficult things.* 💪🏽🧠
Yesterday was a public holiday - Worker's day to be exact. So this holiday happened to fall on a Thursday and my sister was complaining about how it was such a bummer that the public holiday fell in the middle of the week instead of it being on a Monday or Friday.
So this just had me thinking on how we as people are always quick to complain even if we receive blessings in our lives.
Sometimes we don't even notice those blessings because they weren't to our expectations or that they weren't good enough for us. So just something I was pondering that just by changing your perspective on something, you can change how you experience life.
Life is sweeter when it is filled with moments of gratitude.
One of my favourite pastimes is cloud gazing.
I like to think of thoughts as clouds. Some clouds are fleeting, they hardly in a static position for long. Some clouds are small while others are large. Other times those small-sized clouds bunch up together to form a large cloud. And those large clouds bunch up together to form a super cloud which eventually brings down a thunderstorm. ⛈️
Some clouds are so blended in with the sky that it looks like they are not there at all. And then there are times when there are no clouds at all. Where do they even go? Probably wherever they came from.💨
Like how clouds are sometimes visitors to the clear blue sky, our thoughts are visitors to our clear minds. Sometimes those thoughts come through and they mean nothing at all & we easily let them go.
But other times they mean so much that they summon more & more thoughts, to the point where they bring about a storm of anger and despair. 😡
Just like how you make peace with the storm that's brought about by the clouds in the sky, just breathe & let your thoughts be rather than emotionally react to them. The sooner you let be, they sooner they leave. 🍃
I've made peace with that....
- I've made peace with the fact that people have different perceptions of life and that their projections have nothing to do with me but their own personal struggles.
- I've made peace with the fact that one will not always be compatible with other people because how we do things is just different and you can not please everyone nor are you here to do so.
- I've made peace with the fact that one will not always stay permanent in other people's lives, so while you're still present make it your mission to have the best of memories to look back to.
- I've made peace with the fact that home for some is us is not a place or person but more like a state of flow that we experience when we get in touch with our creative selves.
- I've made peace with the fact that society will always have its own standards that people are supposed to live up to buy whether you follow those standards or not - that does not define your worth.
- I've made peace with the fact that our favourite things or people will always change because that shows we are growing and each level of growth requires us to leave a part of us behind.
- I've made peace with the fact that everyone experiences different seasons of life and that one should stop comparing their winter to someone's summer because our journeys are different and that's a beautiful thing.
- I've made peace with the fact that the dark moments of life aren't there to torment us but are there to teach us something that will enable our growth as human beings.
- I've made peace with all that.
It's not you against the world, it's you against your mind.
Why? Because your entire world lives in your mind. Your thoughts and ideas may come from the world but your perception comes from you. So all those people you say you like or dislike are based on your perception of them. And the things about perception is that it can always change. Meaning you can either choose to be the victim or choose to be responsible of what happens around you. And bit by bit, by changing your perception, you are changing your world.
So learn to befriend your mind. Be curious about those thoughts and judgements you project on people and situations. Is that really how they are or that's how you are choosing to see them?
If all your deepest desires could come true, what would you start doing today to receive it?
The Future
A point in time
It could mean tomorrow, next week or next year
It could be in a decade, a millennium or even the next life
Some say the future looks bright
Others say it looks bleak
At the end of the day, it’s all about doing what is right
The past, the present and the future are connected
But to change the future, it all depends on what is done today
What other people are doing is not as important as what action you’re choosing to take
The future may seem far but it’s as close as tomorrow
The future
Some say AI will take over
Others say the world would’ve ended by then
It’s not only about you and I but generations to come
What kind of world are we choosing to leave for them?
Everyone is in a hurry to get somewhere
But no one is stopping to even ask
Where it is we are going
Everyone is busy hustling in the name of achieving success and wanting more
But how much is enough?
Do we even know what we value?
Or it’s just a matter of gaining more and more
The future
Some say it looks bleak
Others say it looks bright
But I say the future looks beautiful
Not only because I choose to believe that it is
But because I am deciding that it is so.
What matters is asking yourself:
If you’ve taken one small action in changing your part of the world today
May we not give up just because it may seem bleak
May we choose to focus on the light that we can see.
